Finding the perfect name for a new business isn't an easy task. At the beginning of the brainstorming process, you usually produce quite a remarkable output. Within this pool of ideas, most of our proposals were... let's be honest: Not great. But a few good ideas stood out from the rest. Even within a functioning team, personal taste matters and - after a number of vetoes - the once remarkable amount of names shrunk to a handful of proposals that resonated with all of our team members. Unfortunately, after checking existing entries in the commercial registry, the trademark register and available domains, our options vanished into thin air.

Back to square one. But we soon realized that this might not be a bad thing. Our first idea turned out to be the best one: Head Start. We all agreed that it sounded great and - more importantly - that its meaning was in line with our business.

After all, our services are built and combined in a way that gives our customers a head start over their competitors. Tomorrow's success of professional service providers is determined by the way they organize their processes;

> manage their most valuable assets: their knowledge and experience; and

> communicate internally but also with the market and their target audience in particular.

> In addition to the meaning of Head Start, the two individual words are important to us.

The head is the center of intelligence and human data base for all knowledge and experience, i.e. exactly the elements we help our customers to manage. Furthermore, the head is the center of creativity, of which we as problem solvers need quite a bit.

The start is a dynamic action and therefore fits perfectly to the way we work. We don't do long reports that no one ever reads or bore people with hours of power point presentations. We prefer to roll up our sleeves and get started on developing those solutions right away. We don't waste time. Not our own and certainly not our customers'.

So, we liked the Head Start but still had to turn it into a company name. We decided to give it a modern twist and add a "z" to it. It's something not everyone has or does, which suits our style. It also shows that we are willing to take a more unusual path if it leads us to the solution. In addition, we are pragmatic: this name is unique and Google likes that!

We're very happy with our new name and think it definitely represents us correctly. Finding it was a challenge - but now we're here. We are HeadStarterz!
